Preston tells us that the actual date of the 90th year is June of 2026.

He also has information on how to prepare for and safe guard yourself for power outages.

That is only days after SVEC crews came off of restoration efforts in Page County.

Preston goes into detail about how power outages can be caused by any number of problems and how to keep track of them.

Preston also has details on the soon to close application opportunity for SVEC scholarships.
